The ASCII lowercase letters are separated from the
uppercase letters by 32. Thus, to
convert a lowercase letter to uppercase, subtract 32 from it. Use
this information to write
a program that reads characters from the keyboard. Have it convert
all lowercase letters
to uppercase, and all uppercase letters to lowercase, displaying
the result. Make no
changes to any other character. Have the program stop when the user
enters a period. At
the end, have the program display the number of case changes that
have taken place.

Suppose option prices for a Dec. 31 expiration and an exercise price of 2300 are Call = 586 and Put = 386. Option prices for a Dec. 31 expiration and an exercise price of 2700 are Call = 426 and Put = 626. You believe the market has overestimated volatility in the S&P 500 index. Construct a synthetic ‘short straddle’ in which you will have a profit with small changes in the S&P 500 index and a loss with large changes in the index. Graph your results in Excel. (Hint: your profit diagram will look like a V.)
